ATTENTION!
This skin has been updated for MusicBee 3.0.
Compatibility with version 2.5 or earlier is not guaranteed.

Here it is, in all its faded glory, my tribute to those old marvels - the radiogram  8)

That's one good-looking mahogany stereo! Hmm, you used a 384 border. It's blending well on the top. Very stylish!

p.s. No highlight color for artwork view?

Thanks, looks great. I love brown so this is good for me  :D

How do you make the compact player look like that, with the tracks on the top and the spectrum on the bottom? I must be missing something somewhere...

One think I can't work out is how you have hidden the progress bar...it is hidden in your picture isn't?

Ah I see, thanks. It's a shame that it's tied to the right hand sidebar.

Very nice.
I always knew you would come up with a new creative way to use the repeat/shuffle buttons.

Thanks hiccup  :)
I tried to work out a way to show those different options as if I was really stuck with using old rotary switches.

Might be my eyes and/or my display, but the black text is quite hard to read here:

i think the reason for lack of likes is because you need to have a forum account to do that. I think this should be debated in the website topic though.

Love this skin but how did you set the artist/album title/release details on the Album & Tracks view?  Can't see any way of amending it....?
Title: Re: 'Faded' bitmap skin
Post by: Bee-liever on April 17, 2017, 07:47:41 AM
I use virtual tags for my left and right grouping headers.
There is an explanation in the Over Yonder skin thread here (https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=16119.msg117791#msg117791)

Hi,

Can anyone here tell me how I can reproduce this on my layout? In the screenshot above there is a vertical row inside the main panel with a list of years, it has the word Browser above it. I'm attaching a version of the screenshot highlighting in red what I am referring to. Please let me know if you need more clarification.

Can someone please guide me on how to accomplish that in my layout?

That's the column browser with the YYYY (year only) field and it looks like a virtual first letter field next to it. This page covers how to add panels to your layout: https://musicbee.fandom.com/wiki/The_Anatomy_of_MusicBee
